If the faltering Intel could find a way to manufacture something newish and wouldn’t share the hardware with US adversaries (currently including China) then it could end up in some us vs them schism where the “spies” can’t operate on each other’s computers at all? “How do you even turn this thing on… let alone turn it against its owners?”

I almost posted this story yesterday myself. We’ll see over time how far each side takes this…
I mean, isn’t local fab the direction everything has to head eventually anyway? Open-source, just-in-time hardware and all that? The interesting angle is whether or not that will come to foster interoperability and security.
